Meet the Doctors

Growing up in Wausau, WI, I knew from a very early age that I wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. Upon graduation from high school, I attended the University of Minnesota Duluth and graduated in 2005 with a B.S. in Biology. In 2009, I graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry with my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. After graduation from dental school, I practiced in Wausau and Chippewa Falls, WI. 

In 2013, I joined Eau Claire Family Dental and have been blessed with many wonderful patient friendships. It is truly an honor and privilege to help people in the Chippewa Valley achieve healthy and beautiful smiles. I believe in the relentless pursuit of excellence in esthetic dentistry, using the latest technology and highest quality materials. I have taken many continuing education seminars and workshops on anterior esthetic dentistry, smile, and restorative design, TMJ/TMD and occlusion, root canal treatment, and the painless administration of anesthetic. I'm a member of the Spear Study Club, the American Dental Association, and the Wisconsin Dental Association. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Pam, and our wonderful children. It's a joy to watch them grow into the people they are becoming. I'm an avid outdoorsman with a passion for bow hunting and trout fishing. I'm a diehard fan of the Packers and Minnesota Wild.

I grew up in rural Goodhue, Minnesota and attended the University of Wisconsin La Crosse where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Radiation Therapy.  I worked for several years as a radiation therapist before following my passion for dentistry.  I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry.  Dentistry allows me to provide personalized gentle care that meets the unique needs of each patient. 
 

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my three-year-old golden retriever.  I am an avid Minnesota sports fan and enjoy playing volleyball and reading a good book.  I am excited to join Eau Claire Family Dental and look forward to serving the dental health needs of our community.
